They have adopted an important water reduction program including visual signs in the rooms and water flow restrictions in the showers, as well as educating their employees to use less water whenever possible when cleaning. They also have solar energy panels to assist with heating the hotel and gas water heaters in the showers. In the rooms there are economical sensor lights that turn off when the guests are not in. There are recycling bins to separate the garbage, which is collected by a public agency that helps poor communities. The owners prefer to hire only local help and give them special training to work in many areas of the hotel, helping to sustain both local tourism and the community.

Thinking about the environment, they also protect and take care of the native area around the hotel, about 5.000m2 of green area, where is possible to see many species of birds.
